About Adina

Adina Tabor is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. She supports people facing relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and work or career concerns. Her name appears here because she meets clients with compassion and practical focus.

Adina uses straightforward conversation to understand what matters to each person. She listens for patterns, coping habits, and goals. Then she and the client pick small, concrete steps to try between sessions. This might mean practicing new communication skills, testing a different way of thinking about a worry, or experimenting with brief daily habits to improve sleep and mood.

Her approach blends client-centered work with structured techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. She also draws on emotionally-focused methods and mindfulness practices to help people feel more grounded in stressful moments. Adina adapts what she offers to fit the way a person learns and responds.

Adina holds LICSW and LCSW credentials and has six years of clinical experience, including work with people facing compassion fatigue and ADHD-related struggles. She aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can try new strategies and regain a sense of control.

Getting started involves a brief intake and a conversation about goals. Sessions focus on practical solutions, clearer communication, and steady progress toward a more manageable daily life.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person and their experience. It means the therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects feelings, and helps clarify what matters. This approach helps with relationship worries, self-esteem, and figuring out priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into manageable pieces. It uses practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and to change behaviors that keep anxiety or depression going. CBT is often useful for stress, sleep problems, and mood regulation. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for handling intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be helpful for impulsivity, anger, and emotion regulation challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan as you learn what helps. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so sessions stay aligned with real needs and day-to-day life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for consistent check-ins when life gets hectic. Some formats also require less bandwidth or let people skip being on camera when they prefer. Talk with the therapist during the intake to choose the best practical arrangement for your routine.
